Experience is the constant tying together of knowing, being, and doing in a way that is simultaneously transcendental and empirical, and expressivity names the process by which this tying happens, and so it functions as the logic—the ‘how’—of experience itself. This logic is inherently political, insofar...

He made a number of experimental discoveries, including color coding in the retina, the participation mechanisms of...

We present a unifying framework to study consciousness based on algorithmic information theory (AIT). We take as a premise that ``there is experience'' and focus on the requirements for structured experience (S)--- the spatial, temporal, and conceptual organization of our first-person experience of the world and of ourselves as agents in it. Our starting point is the insight that access to good...

General anaesthesia has been used in medical practice since the mid-nineteenth century, but its pharmacological mechanism of action is still not entirely clear. In a top-down approach, investigations probe smaller and smaller scales to shed light on how anaesthetics disrupt or alter neural activity, ultimately resulting in loss of consciousness. In the past few decades, advances in neuroscience...
